I'm at sealevel so it is worse for us guys. To diagnose lean jet/power valve take your truck out and get into heavy load and wait for it to cut out/stumble then pull the choke out a teany bit, if it starts to pull harder you are too lean on your tune. BTW, I might add, the single Rochester B seems to be a little under carb'd for a 235 (56 blue flame high lift cam engine 140hp). When I had my later model mono jet on it, it had a ton more power and better drivability too. Steve
